CDT Welcomes New Non-Resident Fellows for 2024-2025

The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) is pleased to announce the addition of eight new distinguished researchers to our Non-Resident Fellows Program. This year’s cohort includes scholars from diverse organizations and backgrounds, highlighting the far-reaching influence of technology on various facets of everyday life.

As part of our commitment to creating spaces that bring together researchers, policymakers, and subject matter experts, CDT’s Non-Resident Fellows program engages academics in key discussions surrounding technology policy.  Ultimately, the goal is for our Non-Resident Fellows program to contribute to more well-informed policy solutions. Fellows in the program collaborate on projects and events alongside CDT policy experts, and their research is shared and amplified by CDT.

The 2024 cohort of incoming Fellows is:

  • Umang Bhatt, Assistant Professor and Faculty Fellow, Center for Data Science at New York University
  • Jenny Davis, Professor, Vanderbilt University
  • Paul Gowder, Professor of Law, Northwestern University
  • Priya Kumar, Assistant Professor, Pennsylvania State University’s College of Information Sciences and Technology
  • Jess Reia, Assistant Professor of Data Science, University of Virginia
  • Chinmayi Sharma, Associate Professor, Fordham University School of Law
  • Pamela Wisniewski, Associate Professor, Vanderbilt University
  • Sabine Witting, Assistant Professor, Law & Digital Technologies, Leiden University
